Feedback from Class on Final Project
I received some great feedback today from the class. I have decided to rework the design of my skirt, based on the suggestions that I received. I found that talking through a process aloud, can often increase inspiration. Here is a list of the feedback/questions that I received. Thanks to everyone for their ideas!
-Instead of waiting for all of the jeans to arrive so that I can map out the design of the skirt, I could map it out the way I would ideally like it, and leave holes to serve as placeholders for the missing people/jeans. If I do not end up receiving the jeans, the holes will represent the ways in which a social network can be broken.
-I could make the skirt modular, so that it can continue to grow, just as a social network does.
-I could create a tiling effect, and have all of the patches be the same shape. (Which could coinside nicely with the skirt being modular)
-How will I know whose jeans are whose? I could use transfer paper on the back of each patch to denote the owner of the jeans. And I could design the skirt so that you can "open up" the patch by flipping it over, to read a story and/or description of the person.
-The placement of each patch could depend on the chronological order in which I met the person. (The people I have know the longest will be closest to me, and I can keep adding people on to the outer perimeter of the skirt as I meet them.)
